Changed out standard bumper for Heavy-Duty Modular Bumper.

Can anyone tell me why the tow hooks need to be removed by cutting or using the other brackets for the intercooler? Do they physically conflict with the steel bumper or is it just a visual thing?

Someone posted a photo above but they physically conflict. The mod bumper sits flush against the bracket without the hooks.

Main plate is steel reusing small plastic plate.

Can the plastic bash and skid plates be reused with the modular bumper?

I was told they were on backorder but here we go.

Did you have to use stands or anything to hold up the inter cooler when swapping out the brackets?

Nope. Just unbolt and bolt back up one at a time.

I’ve noticed that too…looks like the honeycomb that was peeking through ver 1 MIC tops.

It’s the substructure since the hood is aluminum

With the caveat of "I haven't done the actual install yet", I am staring at all the pieces and it looks like there would be a sizable gap if you installed the plastic front bash plate aft of the mod bumper. The oilpan plate at least looks interchangeable between the plastic and steel versions (although that one is a whopping $90 from most of the parts vendors).

Seeing that I went ahead and bought a second hand steel front bash plate from eBay, since shipping for such a sizable piece was surprisingly reasonable.

Hopefully have enough time in one spot to do the swap this weekend.

Has anyone see a complete list including the two hook parts needing replaced or maybe a video for a stock to Modular swap? Lots of parts and pieces of good information but not sure i have captured it all for a total list.

Changed out standard for Ford Performance Heavy-Duty Modular. Had to modify a little to get it to fit. Cut off standard tow hooks to get steel plate to fit.

Where is the camera located now? My Wildtrack has a camera in front and all the sensors.

This is what I've found so far (albeit in USD) as to what's needed, and my understanding is there are still some unresolved differences in the clips for mounting the parking sensors in the different bumper:

I think you could do without the last finish panel, doesn't look like a huge gap in the photos by @Strykerwsu if he did retain the original one on his install.

Yeah, the Parking Aid Sensor Bracket Retainers have a different order sku code for each of the four! Believe it or not, each one is actually slightly modified so that it fits a specific location on the bumper They were ~ $6.50 each! I copied this from my invoice:


(1) Description:Bracket. Sensor. Outer. Park front. Parking Aid. RETAINER.
Part Number: M2DZ15A862MA
Quantity: 1

(2) Description:Inner bracket. Park sensor front bracket. Parking Aid Sensor Bracket. RETAINER.

(3) Description:Inner bracket. Park sensor front bracket. Parking Aid Sensor Bracket. RETAINER.

One thing that should be mentioned for anyone attempting to swap from standard to mod bumper! MAKE SURE YOU PURCHASE A MOD BUMPER DESIGNED TO HOUSE THE PARKING SENSORS IF YOUR PLASTIC BUMPER HAS THEM INSTALLED! My neighbor purchased a mod bumper (he saw that i swapped mine to mod) and didn’t pay attention to this and will now have to strategically drill holes to retain that functionality! Oh well, at least i was able to make the swap install super quick!

But, as i told him, i’m not down for drilling another man’s bumper!
